Energy Efficiency and Resilience of Building and Renovating With Propane
Exploring propane’s energy advantages for residential renovations and new construction
Sponsored by PROPANE Energy for Everyone | By Amanda C Voss, MPP
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Evaluate the environmental benefits provided to a project by propane, including reduced greenhouse gas and NOx emissions and lowered energy costs. Conduct a thorough comparative analysis of propane-fueled systems through the lens of energy and performance. Outline the profile of environmental and cost advantages for a renovation project when converting from heating oil to propane. Validate why propane is both an adaptable and renewable energy source, as well as demonstrate how this fuel contributes to net zero energy homes and environmental qualifications, including LEED for Homes (LEED H v4) and the 2015 National Green Building Standard (NGBS).
